The Bernardston Agricultural Commission

Our roots are in agriculture!

The mission of the Bernardston Agricultural Commission (AgCom) is to protect agricultural lands, preserve rural character, provide a voice for farmers, and encourage agricultural based businesses. The AgCom is a standing committee of town government, created through a vote of Town Meeting and appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
